The Bible is a very mean spirited book.

by libra_spirit in

i remember at one point in my life believing that the new testament taught love as the greatest command.

for the last week i have been rereading the new testament.

mathew, and revelation so far.

I know I'll probably end up getting flamed big time for saying it (but isn't that a small price to pay for freedom of speech?), however........

SEND THAT DAMNED BOOK ON A ONE-WAY TRIP TO THE DUMP! (especially if it's the NWT version)

I'm in total agreement with libra_spirit on this one. If "god" wants to destroy 99.99% of the population, why do it in such a cruel manner? If he is supposed to be as powerful as he's made out to be, why not just snap his fingers and let the "wicked" ones dissapear instantly and painlessly with no awareness of what's happening whatsoever? It's one of the reasons why I don't believe in Christianity - there's way too much bloodshed, hatred, cruelty and contradiction within the bible.

There, thats my 10 pence worth for the time being.

JW's and Mormons (again!)

by figureheaduk in

a few days back i started a thread called "jw's and mormons", which seemed to get a few replies.

however, whenever i tried to open the thread i kept getting one of those horrible "error" screens that seemed to have been plaguing the forum recently.

now it seems as if the thread has gone for good.. the original questions i asked were along the lines of.

Really sorry about this!

A few days back I started a thread called "JW's and Mormons", which seemed to get a few replies. However, whenever I tried to open the thread I kept getting one of those horrible "Error" screens that seemed to have been plaguing the forum recently. Now it seems as if the thread has gone for good.

The original questions I asked were along the lines of

"Apart from the obvious things like springing up from the USA in the 19th century, going door-to-door to try and gain new converts, claiming to be the only true religion etc, does anybody know of any other intersting similarities between the JW and Mormon faiths?"

and

"Have any ex-JW's here ever had any interesting doorstep conversations with Mormons? Either while out in service spreading the Watchtower's ~~false prophecies, lies and hatred~~, erm, Good news, or while on the receiving end of an uninvited visit from the Church of Latter Day Saints"

If you have answered before, and would happily be willing to reply again, I'd be most grateful!

thanks
